Was a bit cloudy to start here ,then sunny and then cloudy again! Rain forecast was between 10 and 12;00 so got the skates on after a big breakfast to get a ride in before the rain arrived.
Steady ride out via the busway and back from Cottenham and all hunky dory until the front wheel washed out on a left turn in to a side road, luckily ended up with the odd bruise and scrape plus the bike was ok apart from needing to reset the Di2 as it had gone in to crash mode.
Think I must have leaned it too far over and the chunkier tyres couldn't grip as well as the GP5000's I have been running all year.
Rolled home ok and got in just before it started chucking it down for some lunch and a coffee before a hot bath and some Sudocrem for the scuffs.
Realised that I was wearing the same jacket and 3/4 bibs from when I crashed on a commute a few years ago so will try and make a mental note not to do that again.
Just had home made potato curry and will watch some NFL with a couple of beers later.
Glad you are ok. I dont know your age but we dont bounce so well as we get older.

I see we have a yellow warning for possible icy conditions first thing so I might delay my morning wander just in case. Maybe wrong though as it’s still 3 degrees and I even have the windows open.

Night night all .
I did sail today , it was very cold , there was very little wind and it rained for the whole race . I finished third and was called perverse by my friends as a the last time I sailed I retired when leading when the weather was warmer and there was more wind .
I have to admit when it comes to sailing l am a little perverse lol 😀
Anyway I eventually got warm again about 3 in the afternoon. 😀
